KEY FACTORS ASSESSED
Hygrothermal behaviour — the cavity closers meet and exceed the minimum thermal resistance path of 0.45 m2·K·W–1
as required by the Accredited Construction Details (version 1.0). Default ␺-values (Psi) in BRE Information Paper IP 1/06
may, therefore, be used for jamb and sill junctions in SAP or SBEM (see section 6).
Water resistance — the system is effective as a damp-proof barrier and, when used in a suitable wall construction,
will resist the passage of water into the interior of the building in flush reveal installations (see section 7).
Structural stability — in terms of wind loading resistance, the system can be used in all areas of the UK. The system
must not be used to support loads from the masonry (see section 8).
Behaviour in relation to fire — the installed system will not contribute significantly to the growth of a fire. The system
does not constitute a cavity barrier (see section 9).
Durability — the cavity closer profiles, protected within the cavity, will continue to function for the normal expected life
of a building; visible components will have an expected life in excess of 35 years (see section 12).
The BBA has awarded this Certificate to the company named above for the system described herein. This system
has been assessed by the BBA as being fit for its intended use provided it is installed, used and maintained as set
out in this Certificate.

Technical Specification
1 Description
1.1 The Munster Joinery Cavity Closer and Subframe System (see Figure 1) is an insulated unplasticised polyvinyl
chloride (PVC-U) cavity closer and window sub-frame, used to form an opening in masonry cavity walls during
construction. It is made from extruded profiles fitted with polyurethane foam core (PUR, estimated thermal conductivity
␭D 0.041 W·m–1·K–1) insulation in accordance with BS EN 13165 : 2012. The profiles are formed into a U-shape
template with welded corners at the sill and a temporary timber batten brace (typical 65 mm by 40 mm), to be
removed prior to the installation of the window frame. Alternatively, a head vent profile is mechanically joined to form
the head section.
1.2 The cavity frame components and accessories are listed in Table 1 and shown in Figure 1.

distortion in transit. They should be protected from vehicular and pedestrian traffic and stored under cover in a clean
area, on edge, and suitably supported to avoid distortion or damage.
Assessment and Technical Investigations
The following is a summary of the assessment and technical investigations carried out on the Munster Joinery Cavity
Closer and Subframe System.
Design Considerations
4 General
4.1 The Munster Joinery Cavity Closer and Subframe System is suitable for use in masonry walls with nominal cavity
widths of 100 mm and with PVC-U window frames.
4.2 The system can be used as a template to form an opening around which a wall can be constructed, and to
establish the cavity width during construction.
4.3 The system provides a damp-proof barrier between inner and outer wall leaves at the point of closure, acts as a
cavity closer without forming a thermal bridge, and avoids the need for cutting bricks and blocks. The window is fitted
after completion of the masonry.
Page 6 of 11
4.4 Masonry walls into which the system is incorporated must be constructed in accordance with one or more of the
following technical specifications:
• BS EN 1996-1-1 : 2005, BS EN 1996-1-2 : 2005, BS EN 1996-2 : 2006, BS EN 1996-3 : 2006 and the
relevant National Annexes
• the national Building Regulations:
England and Wales – Approved Document A1/2, Section 1C
Scotland – Mandatory Standard 1.1(1)(2), Small Buildings Guide
(1) Technical Handbook (Domestic).
(2) Technical Handbook (Non-Domestic).
Northern Ireland – Technical Booklet D.
4.5 Windows are fitted into the subframe from the inside of the building.
4.6 Subframes are manufactured to suit the exact brickwork opening. A 6 mm clearance per side is allowed
between the subframe and window, in accordance with the Munster Joinery Cavity Closer/Subframe Fabrication and
Installation Manual.
4.7 The maximum subframe cavity closer size is 2400 mm by 1300 mm.
5 Practicability of installation
The system is designed to be installed by a competent general builder, or a contractor, experienced with this type
of system.
6 Hygrothermal behaviour
6.1 The cavity closer can contribute to maintaining continuity of thermal insulation at jambs and sills in wall
openings. The path of minimum thermal resistance through the closer calculated to BRE Information Paper IP 8/08
is at least 0.45 m2·K·W–1 when used in jambs and sills with the window frame setback 30 mm or more into the
wall cavity. Example junction details shown in Figures 3 and 4 are acceptable and the corresponding ␺-values (Psi) in
BRE Information Paper IP 1/06, Table 3, may be used in carbon emission calculations in Scotland and Northern
Ireland. Attention must be given to the correct setback in order to ensure compliance with these requirements. Detailed
guidance on limiting heat loss and air filtration can be found in:
England and Wales — Approved Documents to Part L and, for new thermal elements to existing buildings, Accredited
Construction Details (version 1.0). See also SAP 2009 Appendix K and the iSBEM User Manual for new-build
Scotland — Accredited Construction Details (Scotland)
Northern Ireland — Accredited Construction Details (version 1.0).
6.2 Jambs and sills incorporating the system in accordance with section 6.1 will adequately limit the risk of
local surface condensation.
6.3 Under normal domestic conditions, the level of interstitial condensation associated with the system will be
low and the risk of any resultant damage minimal.
6.4 The junctions between the wall and the front and back of the window frame must be effectively sealed.
7 Water resistance
7.1 The system is effective as a vertical damp-proof barrier at jambs of window openings in masonry
constructions, where a brick/block closer and damp-proof course (dpc) detail would normally be used. The
system is also effective as a horizontal damp-proof barrier at the sill.
7.2 Installations with a flush (in-line) wall opening with a minimum window setback of 30 mm (see Figures 3 and 4)
are suitable for use in the exposure zones 1 (sheltered), 2 (moderate) and 3 (severe) as depicted in the map contained
in section 3.1 of BRE Report BR 262 : 2002. The subframe may also be considered suitable for use in other areas
where a conventional return brick/block closer detail with dpc has been found to provide adequate resistance to the
penetration of wind-driven rain.
8 Structural stability
8.1 The system is non-loadbearing and must not be used to support loads from the masonry. Lintels are required above
window openings.
8.2 The system will not have an adverse effect on the structural stability of brickwork or blockwork walls constructed in
the conventional manner in accordance with normal good practice as defined in the Standards listed in section 4.4 of
this Certificate. Use of the system does not obviate the need for conventional wall ties around the openings.
8.3 A window fitted correctly into a cavity frame, using beads at the jambs and bead and conventional fixing lugs
at the head and sill, will satisfactorily transfer to the structure wind loads likely to be encountered in the UK. In terms of
wind loading resistance, the cavity frame can be used in all areas of the UK.

9 Behaviour in relation to fire
9.1 The installed system will not contribute significantly to the growth of a fire.
9.2 The system does not constitute a cavity barrier against the penetration of smoke and flame in the context of the
Building Regulations.
9.3 The use of the system is not prevented in England and Wales where, generally, cavity barriers are not required
around openings in masonry wall construction.
9.4 In Scotland and Northern Ireland, the system is only suitable for use in conjunction with a cavity barrier meeting
the performance requirements defined in:
Scotland — Mandatory Standard 2.4, clause 2.4.1(1)(2) and Annex 2.B(1) or 2.D(2)
(1) Technical Handbook (Domestic).
(2) Technical Handbook (Non-Domestic).
Northern Ireland — Technical Booklet E, Paragraph 4.38.
9.5 The use of the system does not preclude the need to provide suitable fire protection to steel lintels where this is
necessary to satisfy the Building Regulations.
10 Security against intrusion
Removal of a window from the cavity closer/frame acceptor from outside is extremely difficult as the windows are
secured by internally-fitted rebate upstand profiles (beads) at the head and jambs. When correctly fitted, the rebate
upstands lock the window frame in position against a flange (part of the adaptor which fits into the cavity closer/frame
acceptor body profile).
11 Maintenance
To ensure the maximum weathertightness, the seal between window frames and masonry must be checked regularly
and repairs or renewal carried out promptly.
12 Durability
The system is durable when installed in accordance with this Certificate and will not suffer significant
degradation when protected within the cavity. The system will continue to function for the normal expected life of
a building. Visible components will have an expected life in excess of 35 years.
13 Reuse and recyclability
The PVC-U profiles of the system can be recycled.
Installation
14 General
14.1 Installation of the Munster Joinery Cavity Closer and Subframe System must be carried out in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions.
14.2 A cavity barrier may be required (see section 9.2).
14.3 Reference should be made to the typical installation details shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4; these Figures,
however, are for information only and do not form part of this assessment.
14.4 At the build-in stage, it must be ensured that the subframe remains plumb, level, square and with parallel sides.
14.5 The junction between the wall and the front and back of the window frame must be effectively sealed.
15 Procedure
15.1 The assembled welded subframe, including cross brace or vented head at the head section, is ready for
building into the construction of cavity walls using traditional building methods.
15.2 The cavity wall is built to the sill level, ensuring that the course work is level and flat, and that all excess mortar is
removed.
15.3 The subframe is positioned in the cavity, ensuring that it is facing the correct way, and temporary timber supports
are attached to the closer, if required. The closer frame is aligned with a spirit level, and the timber supports are
secured so that they are rigid and keep the frame square and plumb. The course work is built up by one course and
butted to one side of the subframe.
15.4 The position of the subframe is checked and the course work on the opposite side of the subframe is built up by
one level.
15.5 Ties are inserted into the channel of the subframe jambs, rotated through 90º and built into the mortar bed joints.
These ties should be fitted after the first brick course and then at every five to six brick intervals. The ties should be
inserted alternately, tying the subframe into both inner and outer courses, ensuring that the subframe is tight against the
outer brick. A minimum of three ties per vertical member is required.
Page 8 of 11
15.6 When the masonry reaches head level, the head batten, if used, is removed and a lintel, with associated
dpc, is fitted across the masonry just clear of the top of the subframe. Where the vented head is used, it is tied to
the building structure using fixing cleats. The number of fixing cleats required depends on the width of the opening.
Typically, for a window 2000 mm wide, two cleats are required. The wall construction is continued to complete the
aperture.
15.7 In all installations, the top brick course should be arranged to ensure that, when bedded in, the lintel does not
exert a load on the window frame/subframe.
15.8 The subframe is cleaned to ensure that it is free from mortar. The brickwork must be allowed to set before
attempting to fit the window.
15.9 The fitting of windows to the former must be carried out in accordance with the Munster Joinery Cavity Closer
Subframe Fabrication and Installation Manual.
Finishing
15.10 An effective sealant is applied around the perimeter of the window internally, prior to applying internal finishes.
15.11 In locations where the plaster may be subject to repeated impact (eg at door reveals from door slamming), it is
recommended that wet plaster should be reinforced by hessian scrim or, preferably, replaced by dry lining.
15.12 Finishing trims, where required, are fitted after completion of the window installation.
15.13 The window is weatherproofed externally, using a suitable low modulus silicone sealant.
Technical Investigations
16 Tests
16.1 Confirmatory tests were carried out on PVC-U extrusions made from virgin material, to determine:
• shrinkage on heating
• changes on heating.
16.2 Tests were carried out on a combined subframe and PVC-U window, installed in a test rig, to determine:
• air permeability
• watertightness
• effect of cyclic wind loads to ±1250 Pa
• effect of temperature variation (–5°C to 55°C)
• safety test, wind loading using increased pressure of ±2300 Pa and reduced pressure of –3000 Pa(1).
(1) The test was performed at reduced temperature to ensure that the contraction of the window under such conditions would not render the system
unsafe.
17 Investigations
17.1 An assessment was made of existing data to determine:
PVC-U extrusions
•
•
•
•
•
•
Vicat softening temperature
shrinkage on heating
verification of gelation by heating
ash content
induction time of dehydrochlorination
gelation by immersion in a solvent
Foiled extrusions
• adhesive bond strength
• cross cut adhesion
• appearance after ageing.
17.2 An assessment was made of:
• heat loss and condensation risk in accordance with the Accredited Construction Details (version 1.0) (England and
Wales and Northern Ireland) and the Accredited Construction Details (Scotland)
• weather resistance of the system when installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
• the practicability of the installation
• fire resistance and structural stability of walls incorporating the cavity closer subframe
• durability of the components used in the construction of the system.
17.3 The manufacturing process was evaluated, including methods for quality control, and details were obtained of
the quality and composition of the materials used.
